Zhai Dazhong was sitting on a rough wooden chair, with his hands on his knees and his body leaning forward slightly. He was listening attentively to Sha Zhengming's assignment.

Zhai Dazhong is a native of Fujian, and is currently serving as a guerrilla in the Fuzhou Shuibiao Camp. This position is theoretically the same as that of a fake crossing soldier who has just been publicly appointed as a guerrilla general.

However, the official title is the same, but the real power is very different: for military attachés, the number of troops and horses is proportional to their status to some extent. Qu Dazhong, a guerrilla in the water mark battalion, naturally compared the troops and horses under his command with "Cao Chuan"

It's far from enough.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses displayed by the pirate leader at the gates of Fuzhou City a few days ago, including those strange ships and the red-haired barbarians who came to help. Qu Dazhong, who was proficient in water warfare, also knew that he was no match.

You must know that some time ago, the officers and soldiers had a series of battles with Zheng Zhilong, which ended in a defeat for the officers and soldiers. This defeat not only sent Yu Zigao, the chief military officer of Fujian, to the sky prison, but also made the imperial court manager from Yu Zigao down.

Many generals were killed in the battle, a large number of warships were damaged, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses.

The defeat not only caused a great loss in the Fujian Navy's overall hard power, but also its soft power is not optimistic: currently there is only one deputy general, Zhao Tingyuan, who was originally stationed at the Zhongzuo Station, but now has even lost his old base, and is hiding in Fuzhou City awaiting trial, so

From then on, the officers and soldiers below him were panic-stricken and had no fighting spirit.

Therefore, when the Xinke guerrilla general summoned people from all walks of life to Maweishui Village for a combat meeting today, Qu Dazhong came honestly. He had no airs to show off in front of these powerful pirate leaders.

Like all those who first came into contact with the Chuanchuan people, when Qu Youyi came to Maweishui Camp, the first thing he saw was a variety of shocks: the clean and tidy military camp, the black smoke boilers, and the recently arrived in Fuzhou City.

Popular glass windows.

Qu Youyi knew that these people made the glass in Dajuan. But he really couldn't understand the idea of ​​installing such expensive things on the windows of the military camp.

But once it was time for the official meeting, people realized the benefits of the glass windows: there was plenty of light in the bright room, and any mark on the map could be clearly seen.

There are many people attending today.

There was the Xinke guerrilla general Cao Chuan in official robes, as well as the actual host of the meeting, General Sha Zhengming, Sha Qian, guerrilla Qu Dazhong, five or six foreign committee generals including Du Dewei and Cao Hu, and three striking Dutchmen.

and translator were also present.

The various participants quickly focused their attention on the detailed topographic map of Xiamen on the wall. The indigenous people, who had never seen the satellite map style of later generations, all opened their eyes at this moment.

Not to mention the weird thoughts such as "the ambition is not small" and "premeditated" that popped up in the minds of wise men like Qu Dazhong and Du Dewei. When the curtain on the wall was opened, the majestic Sha Zhengming picked up the

With a pointer, he began to explain the map on his own.

The innovative strategy meeting captivated the attendees.

Sha Zhengming first introduced the historical background of the entire battle to the map. This included the current strategic situation of both sides, as well as the resumes and troop numbers of the enemy's major leaders from Li Kuiqi down.

After introducing these backgrounds, Sha Zhengming began to explain the campaign draft in detail.

The battle plan drawn up by the Chuanchuan people is called peeling the onion. It is an extremely simple plan to suppress bandits. These miscellaneous reinforcements here cannot complete the complex task.

The core of this plan is that the fast fleet will attack the enemy first, and when the enemy's strength is weakened to a critical point, large forces will be dispatched to defeat the opponent.

So at the end of the meeting, Sha Zhengming concluded: "After our main fleet defeats the bandits, everyone can swarm them."

Although Shuibiao Camp is currently in a bad situation, Qu Dazhong is after all an elite military attaché of the imperial court who has just faced off against the pirates, so he cannot understand this truth: How can 8 ships defeat a pirate gang with a total of thousands of ships? Even though that

The 8 strange ships are very fast, although many of the pirates' ships are broken fishing boats.

Then Qu Dazhong smiled, a slightly mocking smile with the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Then his smile was seen by "Cao Chuan" sitting aside: "General Qu, the other party has some high opinions? You might as well speak freely."

"Don't dare, don't dare, General Sha's strategy is magnificent, Qu admires it!"

Naturally, Qu Dazhong would not pretend to be a master tactician at this juncture. The pirates were in the midst of a war at the moment, and Ponytail was their territory. Who knows who these pirates were trying to harm, General Qu?

Naturally, I won't accept this.

After hearing someone's seemingly commendable words, Sha Zhengming, who had already put down his pointer and walked back, sneered: "General Qu is probably jealous of evil and doesn't want others to brag. It's good to say, let's go to sea tomorrow and have a drill, and we will definitely be able to satisfy the general."

The so-called exercises are naturally not the fleet passing through the fleet pulling out the officers and soldiers and beating them, but real live ammunition shooting.

Early the next morning, off the coast of Fuzhou.

A large number of ships are gathering here. The largest number among them are the pirates from Mawei Military Camp. These new recruits, who have learned what military discipline is through stick education, are now crowded into 10 brand-new blessing ships, waiting to observe

exercise.

Qu Dazhong's fleet was not far away. The general only brought 5 ships out of the water mark this time. Among them were all the officers under his command and some of the officers and soldiers whose mental outlook was really bad. He did not take them with him.

Finally there were three lonely Dutch ships.

Mr. Putmans has fulfilled his long-cherished wish since his visit to Fuzhou City. But today he actually came to say goodbye: the Dutch have a very painful understanding of the force of the crossing forces, and they usually see a lot of people in the Taijiang River.

The power of these destroyers has been reduced, so they are not interested in the so-called exercises. Once the exercises are over, they have to go back to prepare for war, and they have no time to waste time here.

All the observation fleets vaguely formed a large circle on the sea, and in the middle of the circle were five or six dilapidated Chinese sailboats.

The next moment, the exercise begins.

I saw a white dragon rushing over from a distance. After showing the audience a high speed of more than 12 knots, the white dragon began to approach the target ship, followed closely by a standard bombardment at a distance of 1,000 meters.

The gorgeous sight of a combination of 2 destroyers and 6 frigates, with a total of 44 Napoleon cannons firing at high speeds, immediately made the onlookers open their mouths.

When the entire fleet fired two rounds of artillery fire at a distance of 1,000 meters, two target ships were already sinking slowly. Next came the finale: the fleet first lowered the sails as a whole, and then circled the target ships at high speed.

After two 360-degree rotations, three more volleys were fired at very short intervals from a distance of 500 meters.

"There is such a divine thing in the world?!" Comrade Qu Dazhong took a telescope donated by the Travelers and saw everything clearly. At this moment, his hands were trembling and he couldn't stop. He now completely understood the "peeling onions" plan

meaning, and agree with this plan from the bottom of my heart.

As shocked as Qu Dazhong were the pirate recruits. In addition, the shock of these recruits also contained fear. As long as they were not stupid, they would have figured out a certain logical relationship: if they had not followed the shopkeepers,

Come and surrender, then you will soon be sent to the bottom of the Zhongzuo Institute by these strange ships without sails and oars to be boxed up.

The exercise went quickly.

If we count from the moment the distant fleet appeared, it only took less than 20 minutes in total for the volley of guns to send all the target ships to the bottom of the sea.

In fact, the shorter the time, the more shocking it is. Seeing the worried people walking away, Zhang Dongdong and others standing on the flagship could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This exercise has actually been included in the plan a long time ago. Because if the time-travelers do not show their strength, these new recruits and experienced veterans will shrink in future battles and will be tied up.

And when they discovered that they were actually holding a golden thigh, these unscrupulous guys must have thought more before doing certain things. Especially these officers and soldiers who were always thinking about transferring: in case General Cao won

After returning, will those who escaped before the battle still have a good life?

With the end of the exercise, the southbound suppression operation, with the crossing fleet as the main force, officers and soldiers, and the Dutch assisting, also began to enter a countdown state.

In fact, the time-travelers can't delay it any longer, because Li Kuiqi is about to take action.

You know, more than a month has passed since the first internal strife broke out among the pirates at Zhongzuo Station.

This situation is actually a kind of competition: the Chuanchuang people and the pirate gang headed by Li Kuiqi and Zhong Bin are all trying their best to gain time for integration. Whoever successfully integrates first can take action first.

Due to the existence of Xu Xinsu in Yuegang, the Travelers have always had an intelligence advantage. This is why they can squeeze out more than a month to train pirate recruits: Li Kuiqi is also integrating.

However, just the day before everyone held the military meeting, a telegram was sent from Yuegang saying: Li Kuiqi was already "convening the ministers" and was preparing to do something big in the near future.

So Zhang Dongdong and the others hurriedly convened a military meeting, and then hurriedly held an exercise to prevent Li Kuiqi from going ashore on a large scale to plunder, otherwise neither Xiong Wencan nor "Cao Chuan" would be able to reap the benefits.

Fortunately, after more than a month of integration, both the soldiers and logistics on the Chuangzhong side, including the Dutch and government troops who came to assist, have been coordinated. Therefore, on the second day after the maritime exercise, Zhang Dongdong secretly

Farewell to Xiong Wencan: There are too many informants in Fuzhou, so there is no need to hold a grand expedition ceremony.

The first to set off was naturally the main fleet consisting of eight sail gunboats. The commander of this fleet was Sha Zhengming, and the deputy commander was Mu Longcheng.

In fact, because all the navy's assets are here, except for Comrade Liu Zhe who is still staying at the town house of Da Yuan, most of the navy's crossing troops have followed the last large force to Fuzhou and are stationed in

Mawei Military Camp.
